I like the first one bc you’d think social services would have had a say on the second.

John Hughes is a genius and “Home Alone” is perfect.
December 24th, 2018 at 10:11 PM ^
Geez, it is Christmas for most people... Great topic!

Uncle buck!

Both are great, but I got to go with Home Alone 2. Better booby traps, better screams, and just one of the greatest scenes in cinematic history with Marv screaming after being attacked by pigeons.
SUCK BRICK, KID!!!

I remember as a kid feeling horrible for him when the grocery bags break. Still bums me out a bit to this day when I see that part.
Both are great movies, but I prefer 1. Merry Christmas everybody!
December 24th, 2018 at 10:32 PM ^
Really? What a thread. Why not Die Hard?
December 24th, 2018 at 10:39 PM ^
Die Hard is the greatest Christmas movie ever and is quite possibly the perfect action movie.

Alan Rickman was amazing in that movie, as well as every other movie he was in. He even played Steve Spurrier (NTSS)...in Bottle Shock!

Interesting tidbit on Gruber’s final moment. Alan Rickman was supposed to fall 25 feet into an airbag for the last scene but the prevailing rumor is that they dropped him on two instead of a three count like they had told him they were going to do to get his real reaction

Yippee ki-yay motherf*cker.
December 24th, 2018 at 10:38 PM ^
1 Forever and Always. Hey Merry Christmas ya filthy animals!
December 24th, 2018 at 10:52 PM ^
Both great movies. I prefer #2 due to the fact that Kevin turned sadistic on his traps and the wet bandits would be dead about 3/4 of the way through the movie.
December 24th, 2018 at 11:01 PM ^
"Where'd he go?"
"Maybe he committed suicide?"
I have to go with the original, but they're both great.
December 24th, 2018 at 11:20 PM ^
Home Alone 2, and I only say that as Home Alone is a pro-Satan. That movie just shows that you can sell your soul and you can get anything you want! Here's looking at you, John Candy!
December 25th, 2018 at 12:04 AM ^
Can’t even believe this is a question. The first Home Alone is better and it isn’t even close. John Candy for the win.
December 25th, 2018 at 12:41 AM ^
John Candy was the greatest.

Whatever he has bit parts in
If I see these movies on the Dish guide I'm effin watching.

I haven't seen 2.
1 is OK. But the father is much too comfortable given the occurrences of the film. It seems like he either wanted that kid gone or figured he had enough other kids that it wouldn't be too big a deal if one were lost to circumstance.
December 25th, 2018 at 3:08 AM ^
I never watched Home Alone. I was finished with graduate school and thought it was a movie for kids. Some day I'll watch them.
December 25th, 2018 at 7:00 AM ^
They are fantastic. Have you seen Harry Potter? Even more fantastic and not just for kids.
December 25th, 2018 at 3:57 PM ^
Yes, I have seen Harry Potter and read the books. I read all 5 of the song of ice and fire books but have not watched the games of thrones series.
December 25th, 2018 at 6:02 AM ^
If you mean which do I hate more, it's both.
I am amazed people like these movies, but perhaps that's because I'm not 7.
December 25th, 2018 at 8:02 AM ^
Glad I don't have to go to your house for Christmas
December 25th, 2018 at 9:26 AM ^
You must be a Home Alone 3 guy then
December 25th, 2018 at 4:09 PM ^
I remember when Home Alone came out in 1990. I was 27 at the time and thought it was a kids movie. The GF I had at the time was not interested in seeing it at all. But from other friends over the years, I've heard that I and II are worth a watch. The only movies I remember going to in 1990 were Total Recall, Flatliners, Hunt for Red October, Edward Scissorhands, Predator 2 and Pretty Women.
December 25th, 2018 at 8:43 PM ^
2, because of the bricks.
December 26th, 2018 at 5:35 PM ^
1 all day Jerry.
